VAT guidelines

Who must pay VAT?

All customers in the UK, and customers in the EC that do not have a VAT number, must pay VAT. Customers outside the EC are exempt from VAT. If you should not pay VAT, but it appears when ordering, please contact us before submitting your order. No amendments or cancellations can be made after an order is received.

What items are subject to VAT?

Items such as videos, CD-ROMS and electronic copies of case studies and journal article reprints are subject to VAT at the standard rate of 20% (increased from 17.5% on 4 January 2011). Printed matter, including books, case studies, teaching notes and journal article reprints, distributed by The Case Centre is exempt from VAT. VAT is also chargeable on the annual membership fee.

When is VAT charged on handling and shipping costs?

VAT is charged to all eligible customers on the handling and shipping costs for orders consisting only of items subject to VAT.

Examples:

A video shipped on it's own: VAT is charged on the cost of the video and on the handling and shipping

A video shipped with printed matter: VAT is charged on the cost of the video, no VAT is charged on the printed matter or handling and shipping

Printed matter shipped on it's own: no VAT is charged
